For several years,Apple is developing numerous health-dedicated features for its connected watch, like its ECG integrated into the Apple Watch Series 5. However, the Apple brand could also equip another of its wearables with options dedicated to health.
AirPods geared towards health?
In a recent article, the TaiwaneseDigiTimesclaims that the brand's next AirPods could feature an ambient light sensor. In this logic, this novelty could allow the replacement of current optical sensors - which are responsible for knowing when the wireless headphones are worn by the user.
The media does not specifically mention the objective of this new sensor, but it assures that it would be linked to the field of health. It is therefore possible that it offers users the possibility of accessing their heart rate or other, which could be useful for people who play sports while wearing AirPods for example.
AndDigiTimeshas proven several times that its rumors were true, this information is still very uncertain and it is possible that this new feature will not see the light of day, whether on the next AirPods model or on the following ones. At the beginning of 2019, the Taiwanese had already reported the arrival of features dedicated to health on AirPods.
In addition to its wireless headphones, Apple is currently looking intothe design of an audio headset called AirPods Studio. This high-end device could be marketed at a price of 349 euros and would compete with devices like those from Bose or Sony. Once again, Apple has not commented on the subject.
